Happy Bird-Day Card and Trio of Sunflowers

 These cards are from the 30 Minute Card Making Stash Dash - two weeks of that challenge. 

The parameters for the first card were as follows: Type of Card: fun fold, Colours: crafter's choice, Embellishment: animal, Technique: painting and Occasion: crafter's choice. 

Painting is not my thing... I used two shimmer brushes, mixed the colours with water and painted across the front panel in two colours. The bird was stamped, coloured and die cut and I added a sentiment underneath. Inside the card, there is a second sentiment and a place for a message. I added some clear gems on the front as well. 

The parameters for the second card were as follows: 

Type of Card: shaped card, Colour: orange, Embellishment: ribbon or twine, Technique: stencilling and Occasion: crafter's choice. 

I die cut three arches and stencilled the top one with grass and clouds. The fence and sunflowers were stamped, coloured and die cut. I arranged them on the front and brushed the centres of the flowers with a gold shimmer brush. I added a stamped sentiment and orange twine to the front. 

Enjoy,
